If any problem involving circular motion, which way does the acceleration vector point ?

Physics
1 answer:
KIM [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The acceleration vector always points towards the centre of the motion. This is referred to as centripetal acceleration. It accounts for the centripetal force that tends to pull the object in circular motion towards the centre of motion.

Consider the diagram below;

it illustrates a body in circular motion along the black circle, with the acceleration vector a shown by the orange arrow pointing towards the centre of motion and the velocity vector v shown by the green arrow pointing tangentially away from the circumference.

Refraction refers to C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

Explanation:

Refraction is a phenomenon typical of wave. Refraction occurs when a wave travels through the boundary between two different mediums. When this occurs, the wave changes speed, wavelength and direction (but the frequency remains the same).

In particular, the direction of the refracted ray is determined by Snell's Law:

n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2

where

n_1 is the index of refraction of the 1st medium

n_2 is the index of refraction of the 2nd medium

\theta_1 is the angle of incidence, which is the angle between the direction of the incident wave and the normal to the boundary

\theta_2 is the angle of refraction, which is the angle between the direction of the refracted wave and the normal to the boundary

Therefore, the correct description of refraction is

C. the bending of light rays when they pass from one medium into another

3) A 30 kg child slides freely across a "Slip and Slide" on LEVEL GROUND. While the child slides, the force applied to keep them
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

a = 0.1962 m/s^2

Explanation:

The magnitude of kinetic friction exerted is given by

F_k=\mu_kN

Where, μ_k= coefficient of kinetic friction= 0.02 and N = reaction force = mg

Where m= mass = 30 Kg and, g is acceleration due to gravity =9.81 m/s^2

F_k=0.02×30×9.81 =5.886 N

Now, since, there is no applied force this kinetic friction force will cause acceleration of the child

⇒ ma = F_k

here, a is the acceleration

⇒30a = 5.886

⇒ a = 0.1962 m/s^2

Fire Service Day
International Firefighters' Day (IFFD) is observed on May 4. It was instituted after a proposal was emailed out across the world on January 4, 1999 due to the deaths of five firefighters in tragic circumstances in a bushfire in Australia.

How much work is done to lift a 3N box to a shelf 2m above the ground
Kaylis [27]
When the box IS on the shelf 2m above the ground,
its potential energy is

(weight) x (height) = (3 N) x (2 m)  =  6 joules .

THAT's the work you have to do, to lift the box up to there.
